Custer Teen Takes Out Mountain Lion

Dalton Streff hid in a playhouse in the back yard after a lion had attacked and killed a goat, a cat, and other animals on Sept. 20.

When the big cat came back for another meal, the 14 year-old was ready.

"When I saw the mountain lion, I grabbed my gun quietly so I didn't scare it off, quietly loaded one round, looked through the scope and shot it," Dalton Streff said. "When I shot it, it jumped about 20 feet and then did a face plant."

The teen's mother, Lila, owns the dairy and reported the incident to the Department of Game, Fish and Parks.
